Not service-related but one difference to note that may/may not matter to different folks: the 12:30/1:30am flight CM 383 departs Terminal A (unlike the evening CM 209, which departs from G with the rest of Star Alliance). As you probably know, A and G are not connected airside, so it does makes a difference for lounge access, going through security twice. I'll be on CM 383 biz in a couple of weeks; it's a small thing but had I known beforehand, I might have picked the evening flight.
